Data Protection

Skills for Care and the Care Provider Alliance (CPA) offered workshops during 2017 and 2018 to bring social care leaders
up to date with ongoing changes and requirements around Information Governance,
General Data Protection Regulations and Cybersecurity. These workshops were part
of the National Information Board’s Building a Digital Ready Workforce
programme managed by Health Education England and NHS Digital, which aimed to
equip the social care and health workforce with the confidence and competence
to utilise digital ways of working to improve health and care.

Workshops were aimed at senior managers, registered
managers or a person within the organisation who has a direct responsibility
for Information Governance. Places are open to any care provider.

The new legislation doesn’t change how we use your personal information. It simply makes it easier for you to find out how we protect and treat your personal data. If you’d like to find out more about how we manage your data, please download our privacy policy.
